I am Moo and as your Guide I would like to welcome you into the Fun and Games forum. A most peculiar forum to find her amongst the pain and suffering, but one that helps you realize that laughter can provide healing too.

You can expect people sharing their pictures, games, jokes, teasing, dinner dishes, vacation experiences, get togethers (g2gs) and on Fridays to have Stupid Pictures. We celebrate birthdays here (if you want your b-day celebrated please use the thread stuck to the top of the General forum to sign up) as well as people that reach posting milestones, and occasionally there is a fundraiser to help fund SI here.

I know that there are lurkers that read here and are afraid to join in with the crazy people that often post here, but we can't allow you to not feel welcome so here is your open invitation to drop in here introduce yourself and become a full participating member of Fun and Games. Just get out your credit card numbers and a pen to sign an oath not to pick on me and you're all set. You can get all of this for just 3 easy payments of $19.95 a month. Just make your checks out to Moo's vacation fund. Ok just kidding.

So drop in here and tell us about a hobby or what you enjoy about Fun and Games. Meet some new folks and then venture out into the forum and participate.

Older members maybe you want to share a story of something you remember that happened in F&G that was funny or maybe tell about a g2g you attended.

Perfect introduction and invite, Moo. As always (there's no shame in "buttering" up to the guides and mods )

This is a fantastic forum. I can't begin to tell everyone how many times I've been laughing to the point of tears and my side hurting. Laughter is truly the best medicine.

sign an oath not to pick on me

But...but...but that's the BEST part!!!!!

Welcome to F&G lurkers. Where we discuss pedicures on Moo, put faces to names with picture threads, and Unagie tries to scare the crap out of us with spiders. *cough*

Hobbies? Umm...this is always a tough one for me. Because I don't really feel "hard core passion" for any particular thing. I'm not really good at any one thing. I dabble in randomness. Maybe that's my hobby....

I write, sing, play the piano, (by ear and sheet music) I like Goodwilling and yard saling, repurposing old items for use in my home, marathoning Jane Austen movies. I sincerely love to laugh. (See what I did there?)

My husband and I have been to two "official" SI g2gs. First was in Chattanooga, second in St. Louis. Ive "unofficially" met SIers three times. Awesome folks. Currently plannning on another unofficial trip in May, and also hitting up the Chicago g2g. Always lots of fun. A little initial nervousness and anxiety in the beginning, but after it wears off, we have a blast. SIers are full of love, compassion, life, and joy. Meeting the ones we have so far has been an incredible experience and we have lifetime friends because of it.

There's so many I don't know if I can pick one. It's all a good time here.

My hobbies are cardmaking and scrapbooking. I want to get back into hiking and fishing for the kids. I would love to make something out of pallets I love writing and hope to be published one day.

I made a coffee table and end table. Still need to stain them. But they're functional. And I love them.

(Psst, the pallet garden was a joke. Possible operator error. I just wasn't impressed with the end result.)

More members should stop lurking and contribute to the song title game, the alphabet game and word unscrambling game, so that they don't keep dropping down the page! Some of us are reliant on these for our procrastination people, step up!

Sit. Feast on your life.

I did the alphabet game...once. Ok, in my defense there were a lot of people posting at once. I really didn't forget the order of the alphabet. Sheesh...

And bad Aubrie! Bad! That verb should be in the past tense. Discussed is correct. We no longer discuss such things as pedicures for moi.

Hi, I adore Stupid Picture Friday--the reason my co-worker thinks I am absolutely crazy for the way I laugh till I cry every Friday morning!

F & G is also the spot where you'll encounter some very funny people, TR (Truly Reconciled) for instance, and of course, MOO, who has likely attended more G2Gs than any other single member. Or married member!

There's an opportunity to brag about and post pics of your children/grandchildren, follow the antics of Grumpy Cat, and wish fellow members Happy Birthday.

Here is also where you'll find out about any G2G in your area.

Come and join us. We don't bite!

Age: 64..ummmmmmm, no...............65....no...oh, hell born in 1947. You figure it out!

That sounds awesome! You should post pics!

I found a patio table I would love to make. It's a chevron pattern, but I need a bigger patio first.
